Someone says a trip is too expensive, and someone else hears "I don't have the money," when what she actually meant was "I would never spend that much on a holiday." I used to say I couldn't afford things by default, and it took me years, and a $500 star sapphire in India, to realise that I didn't know what I meant when I said it. So what do you mean when you say you can't afford a trip?

In this episode:

  • A star sapphire in India
  • Several sentences, same words
  • Mental accounting and the "too much" jar
  • How I actually decide
  • Saying no to $25,000
  • Japan, but not right now

This episode is for you if:

  • You've said "I can't afford it" about a trip without stopping to ask what you really meant
  • You're a woman over 40 who is careful with money and still feels guilty spending it on yourself
  • You dream about solo travel, but the trip keeps landing in the "maybe someday" pile
  • You want to make money decisions that fit your own values, not someone else's rules
